In the previous chapter, we went over how to set up and install OpenVZ. In this chapter, we are going to walk through the download of OS templates that we will be using as default templates for our containers. Then, we will discuss how to create the container itself and add the default configurations necessary to make the container operational.
These are the topics that we are going to cover in this chapter:
What are OS templates?
How to download templates to your server?
How to properly choose a container ID?
How to create a container?
How to set the hostname, IP address, and DNS server for the container?
